Yes.

Hm hm, don't know. Might be simpler to do that as a first option, and optimise
later under separate funding / bugs.

I will see if something can be thrown together with the existing pipeline
building blocks, without having to do full normalisation and rounding followed
immediately by denormalisation.

The post norm stages of both mul and add are designed to output more bits, to
the rounding phase: it might be possible to just extend the add number to the
same (nonstandard) mantissa width and go from there.
